COR-103 rules repeat machine checks in prose, and the template reading order omits ## Acceptance.

D067 assigns each check to its owner. The template links rules to existing enforcers and keeps human judgment in prose. QA links error scenarios. The skills explain JSON failures and formal verification. The verification harness handles read-only Go caches and documents the no-model refusal. T1 and T13 are marked done.

Proved by: uv run --no-project --python 3.12 just check; the reading-order check exits 1 at 32b52e71 and passes on this head; cleanup exits 1 before the fix and 0 after it, with evidence preserved

• 1. Spec: the sections that the card reads cover every command, flag, JSON key, and error code you add or change (n/a: no command interface changes)
• 2. Scenario: each scenario that the card proves fails for the missing behavior
• 3. Code: those scenarios pass
• 4. Text: each new user-facing string is a catalog entry with a description (n/a: documentation and test diagnostics only)
• 5. Checks: just check passes
• 6. Verify: claude-haiku-5-5 (xhigh) ran verify-nicely on template and agent at 9551c675, clean (evidence/commit.txt: 9551c675d3c1):
  • ncly v0.23.4-0.20261030060552-9551c675d3c1; every step of template and agent passes
  • ncly describe nothere --json: exit 2, and stderr ends with {"ok":false,"contract_version":1,"errors":[{"code":"NOT_FOUND",...}]}
  • The rendered AGENTS.md reading order: 2. \spec.md`, including `## Acceptance`: each command's success criteria, effects, and failures`
  • Its rule index starts with Each running command executes in a scenario, Call only through ncly, ncly-probe, exits, signal, or refuses, and Each manifest example runs
  • just verify cleanup with the changed cleanup.sh: exit 0, scratch and build removed, evidence kept
• 7. Docs: the card is done in its backlog item, README.md shows any change a user sees, and a skill teaches any command you add: the extension's, or nicely for core (no README change needed)
• 8. Sign off: just signoff passes, or just signoff-layers for a stack (pending: root)

The required size splits have separate commits. Skill maintenance used live scratch runs. The remote transcript path stopped at TERMINAL_REQUIRED. Five existing feature cross-link warnings remain in the skill validator.

Root review: Opus 5.5 read the full diff. Core's ## Rules moved unchanged to RULES.md to keep AGENTS.md under its size limit; Sol checked that agents still find them.

Reviewed with sol-loop: 1 round with gpt-6.1-sol on xhigh. Sol verdict: approved
